I buy it, with her age group. With people under the age of 25 it would be "Madonna who"??
And remember advertisers want that under 25 age group more than any other.

I don't. There are tons of women named "Lindsey" and there is nothing to suggest this baby was in any way shaped on Lohan. It's a pathetic, weak-ass case.
That said, I would still very much like to have crazy, sweaty sex with Lindsey Lohan.

yeah, except Oprah is recognized for her humanitarian work and business prowess, whereas Lindsey is recognized for her prolapsed vagina.

I can't believe I'm the only one who thought of Lindsay Lohan when she saw that commercial. Not that I think she has a case, but it definitely came to my mind.
And seriously? Ew. Just be sure to line her vagina with extra-strong Hefty bags first. You gotta look out for your health.

Especially a company that targets wealthy stock investors, obviously.

I did not think of Miss Lohan when I saw that commercial. I wouldn't have been able to tell you the girl baby's name if I had been waterboarded.

Fark off, Lohan. You have a super common name. You don't get to claim all references to that name as talking about you. Farking hell. Next we'll have celebrities named John, Matt, and Susan making similar claims.

Hey, she has only herself to blame for the bad associations we have with the name Lindsay.

this
is
the same company that use the baby. They are looking for the 18 year old that wants to blow a couple grand to get rich quick.

again think of the target audience. They dont care why they are famous

With her obviously amazing legal team (serious), I'd probably try to settle for a few bucks. Right or wrong, Lindsay seems to be bulletproof.
/gives her two more years on this mortal coil

Now if they had said, "Is that coke addled skanky train wreck Lindsay there?", then she would have a point.

Apparently she's been sharing her coke with her lawyers. This is farking retarded.

It is pretty funny that the ad featured an "addict" named Lindsey and she immediately thought of herself.

Can't she just use something she is more known for, like "Fire Crotch"?
ProfessorPedal
2010-03-09 01:47:31 PM
I was really offended, too.
I meant by the article. They called her an actress?
Slaves2Darkness
2010-03-09 01:47:45 PM
You know I saw that ad and never once thought the baby girl was supposed to be or in any way connected to Lindsey Lohan. Now that she has pointed it out, yeah that is kind of funny. Pathetic and sad that she would sue over it, but funny.
the opposite of charity is justice
2010-03-09 01:48:00 PM
What, was the baby in the commercial named Firecrotch?

2010-03-09 01:48:14 PM
"Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."
If by "everybody" you mean you, her, and two of her friends, then maybe.
I noticed her lawyer had to use Lindsay's last name so we'd know who the fark she was talking about...

"the actress has the same single-name recognition as Oprah or Madonna."
Or Charo.

So... addicted, attention wh0ring, baby = Lindsay Lohan.
Sounds about right.

Lindsey Lohan never even crossed my mind whenever I saw that commercial so I'd have to say she's probably wrong to think that
she has that kind of 1 word name recognition.
Basiorana
2010-03-09 01:51:25 PM
Uh-huh. So when does Madonna get to sue the Catholic Church? Because that would be awesome.
Brick-House
2010-03-09 01:51:36 PM
The first thing I thought of was the commercial where the Baby called the golfer a
Shankopotamus
and I thought Lindsay Lohan
Skankopotamus
!
Then I thought Milkoholic and thought how could she be a milkoholic? There is no way on god green earth that Lindsey could suck a drop of mil out of Samatha Ronson teat. never gonna happen.
|I hope this goes to court -- the entertainment value would be priceless.
retarded
2010-03-09 01:51:39 PM
I seriously love that ad, and watched and re-watched it.
Add me to the the group of people that did NOT think of Lindsay Lohan, not once.
/milka-what??
Vangor
2010-03-09 01:51:40 PM
If your name and addiction appear in a commercial, movie, television series, novel, etc., and the first thought is you, you should probably reconsider the direction of your life.

I so wanna be at the party she throws if she wins this lawsuit.
/there will be coke
TheSignPost
2010-03-09 01:51:52 PM
I see it going one of two ways:
I meet her through some odd set of circumstances, and she's actually a cool person and fun to be around...
or
She scares me with the zombie-like dullness in her drug-addled eyes.
Either one is just as likely, really.

"They used the name Lindsay," Ovadia said. "They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan?
Because Susan Sarandon would sue them, and she can afford better lawyers.
Really, what the fark kind of question is this?
